The 2025 Belgorod Oblast Duma election will take place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. All 50 seats in the Oblast Duma are up for re-election.

Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 25 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 25 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. Seats in the proportional part are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least one mandate.^[1]

To register regional lists of candidates, parties need to collect 0.5% of signatures of all registered voters in Belgorod Oblast.

The following parties were relieved from the necessity to collect signatures:^[2]

• United Russia
• Communist Party of the Russian Federation
• Liberal Democratic Party of Russia
• A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth
• New People
• Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice
• Communists of Russia
• Cossack Party of the Russian Federation

Communists of Russia returned after last participating in the 2015 election, while For Truth and Patriots of Russia, who took part in the 2020 election, both merged with A Just Russia in 2021.

25 single-mandate constituencies were formed in Belgorod Oblast. To register candidates in single-mandate constituencies need to collect 3% of signatures of registered voters in the constituency.^[1]
